Innovation

At the core of Barry’s leadership style rests a deep understanding of progress as a result of both process and people. In order to drive continuous improvement, Barry has grown to be a key performance indicator fanatic, one of the leading indicators of P&L success. Although by no means a micro-manager, Barry does enjoy taking a hands-on, interactive approach when possible. This not only provides space for Barry to model best practices, but empowers him with additional information when conceptualizing end-to-end opportunities for positive change. Innovation is an essential priority in any business, and Barry finds that a calculated risk – even one that fails – yields greater returns in the long run than never taking any chances at all.

Above all else – Barry Fischetto delivers. This mantra is reflected in the caliber of like-minded colleagues and staff with which he surrounds himself. Determination, dedication, grit, and a healthy competitive edge set his teams apart. Establishing fantastic team dynamics is critical to success. In all of his professional roles, Barry has placed a special emphasis on mentorship. As a mentee, he sincerely appreciated the guidance and coaching which underpinned his own growth. As such, Barry considers watching the high achievers he has taken under his wing as they succeed and thrive to be a great privilege.
